Hello everyone I'm back with another story. I hope you all enjoy.
Lonely Hearts
Santana's parents threw her out when she was fourteen and found out that she was pregnant. Luckily her older brother Aidan took her in even though he was a broke college student. It's been four years since then and they're barely scraping by on Aidan's teacher salary. So since her daughter Lily is now four, Santana has decided to get a job. But since she only has a GED she's put her name in at a temp agency to try and get some experience that every job interview she's gone to has said she needs.
"How do I look?" Santana asks her brother coming out in a blue dress power suit.
"Very beautiful, I'm sure you'll fit right in." Aidan says.
"I hope so; I'm temping at Pierce Codes as an assistant for one of the executives." Santana says.
"I'm proud of you little sis." Aidan says. "You'll do a great job."
"Thanks, it's only temporary, but it's a start." Santana says getting ready to leave.
"Mommy!" Lily shouts running in.
"Yes honey," Santana says kneeling down not caring if she gets her clothes wrinkly.
"Have a good day at work." Lily says looking up at her uncle hoping she said it right.
Aidan smiles at his niece giving her the thumbs up.
"Thank you sweetie." Santana says giving her a hug. "I'll be home by seven." she says to both of them.
"Have fun!" Aidan shouts after her picking up Lily.
She arrives at Pierce Codes thirty minutes early at seven thirty. Walking up to the front desk she looks around for someone. She needs help finding where she'll be working.
"Can I help you Ms.?" a man in his late twenties asks walking behind the desk and taking a seat.
"Hi, I'm Santana Lopez and I'm the temp." Santana says. "I'm not sure where I'll be working."
"Hello Santana, I'm Kurt Hummel and I'm in charge of the front desk." Kurt tells her. "Now let me call up to see where you'll be working."
Santana smiles at him waiting while he picks up the phone. Before he can call, a tall, very hot blonde walks over and Santana has to force herself not to stare.
"Hello Ms. Pierce," Kurt says.
"Kurt, I need an assistant. I just had to fire Andy for not being competent." Brittany tells him.
"This is Santana and she's a temp. I'm sure she can be your assistant until we find you another one." Kurt says.
"Thanks Kurt, this is why I always come to you. You get shit done for me." Brittany says smiling at him as she puts a coffee in front of him.
"Thanks Ms. Pierce," Kurt says.
"Come on," Brittany says to the Latina next to her.
Santana silently follows her new boss who seems like she's very high up the food chain. She prays she does a good job and maybe could get a permanent job here.
"I'm Brittany Pierce, but you can call me Brittany. Though when you answer the phone please say Ms. Pierce's office as that's what everyone else calls me." Brittany says wanting to put this very beautiful woman at ease as she seems very tense.
"Okay, my name is Santana Lopez." Santana says nervous she's going to screw up.
"Well all I need is for you to answer the phone, type up some letters, scan documents and reorganize my files." Brittany lists off as they get into the elevator.
"Sounds good to me." Santana says thinking this might be easier than she thought.
Brittany smiles at this young woman thinking she seems like she'll be good at being her assistant. She doesn't ask for much even though she's the CEO and founder of Pierce Codes. For the most part she likes to do the work herself instead of passing it off to someone else. She founded the company at only seventeen. Being a math genius all the numbers come easy to her which is why she's so involved in coding the software still. Her best friend Quinn Fabray is her CFO and makes sure that business wise they're all good. In all reality Quinn runs the company while she designs the products and comes up with new ideas to try out. And that's the way she likes it as it's made her a billionaire and her best friend extremely rich as well.
"Oh my god," Santana gasps when they finally reach Brittany's office on the top floor.
"Here we are, your desk is here." Brittany says showing Santana to her desk.
"You're….." Santana trails off realizing where she is.
"I'm the CEO and founder of Pierce Codes yes." Brittany says. "And I need you to keep everything straight for me and when I'm working on codes and what not keep people out. Do you think you can do that?" she asks.
"Of course," Santana confidently says.
If there's one thing she's good at it's keeping people from going places using her vicious words.
"Good, if you have any questions come in and ask." Brittany says.
"Okay," Santana says taking a seat.
Papers cover the desk so the first thing Santana does is to organize them. An hour inot the day Brittany is very impressed with the temp who has caught on quick.
"Santana," Brittany calls and Santana comes walking in.
"Yes Brittany," Santana says a bit nervous.
"I was hoping that you could sort through these boxes and organize them by year." Brittany says pointing to about fifteen boxes.
"Of course Brittany." Santana says smiling at her boss.
While Santana sorts through the boxes out at her desk, Brittany watches her. She likes how hard the young woman has been working in the two hours she's been working for her. If she keeps this up she just may have to hire her full time.
"Excuse me, but you can't just go in." Santana says blocking the doorway to Brittany's office.
"Listen-"
"Santana you can let Quinn in, she's the only one allowed in any time." Brittany says coming to the door and smiling over at her soon to be assistant.
"Okay," Santana says moving aside and goes back to sorting.
"Who's that? She's really hot." Quinn says giving Brittany a questioningly look.
"I guess," Brittany says trying not to stare at her very hot temp assistant.
"Come on Britt that woman is hot, now who is she?" Quinn asks.
"Well I fired Andy for hitting on me all the fucking time. I mean I know I'm hot, but I'm also the boss." Brittany tells her. "Luckily a temp showed up for someone so I grabbed her and thus far she's been really good."
"Of course you did." Quinn says shaking her head. "Don't sleep with her okay."
"Q," Brittany says shocked. "You know I don't sleep with employees."
"I know, but she's hot and your type." Quinn says.
"Enough what do you want?" Brittany asks.
"I was wondering if you thought yet about making that phone yet? I think expending our cell phone line would be good. Our sales have gone so we need to interject some new phones in." Quinn says.
"I have, I'm just not sure where it is yet." Brittany tells her. "When Santana finds it in that pile of papers I'll send it down to you."
"Let's hope this one sticks." Quinn says rolling her eyes as she leaves.
For as brilliant as Brittany is, she's very messy and it often takes them a few days after Brittany draws something out to actually find it.
"Santana, it's lunch time and I was hoping you'd come with me. I'd like to get to know you better." Brittany says.
"I brought my own lunch." Santana says unsure if she should go.
Her boss is really hot and she doesn't want to do something that could get her fired.
"I'll pay, please." Brittany says pouting.
"Fine just put away that pout, it makes me want to hurt someone for making you so sad looking." Santana says deciding to risk saying how she truly feels to her boss who just might fire her for it.
"Good, now I know all I have to do is pout to get you to do things that's what I'll do." Brittany says smiling at the Latina.
Santana chuckles at her boss which causes Brittany to smile. She feels at ease around the Latina and just wants to get to know her which is weird since they've only known each other for a few hours. Santana is feeling the same way.
"So Santana how'd you end up working here?" Brittany asks wanting to get to know her better.
"The temp agency that I work for sent me here." Santana says frowning cause isn't that obvious.
"No, how did you end up doing this. You're really smart and I'm shocked you don't have a full time job as an executive assistant." Brittany explains.
"Well I'm only nineteen and I never graduated from high school. I do have a GED though." Santana says.
"Wow, you're only nineteen. You don't act like a teenager or someone who's so young. I would have said you were in your mid-twenties." Brittany says shocked.
"Thanks, I had to grow up fast." Santana says blushing as Brittany opens her BMW door for her.
"Oh do you mind me asking why?" Brittany asks.
"No, I have a four year old daughter." Santana says.
Brittany doesn't know what to say. She doesn't know if she should say sorry or what. She's never meet someone who had a kid so young. So she settles for something easy.
"That sounds like it was a challenge." Brittany says unsure if she's saying things right or not.
"It still it, though she's gotten better now that she's older." Santana says. "Can I ask you some questions?" she asks.
"Of course it's only fair." Brittany says holding back on asking more questions that she has.
"How'd you come up with all this?" Santana asks. "I mean you were only seventeen and you started the most successful computer companies."
"I've always been good with numbers, but terrible at school." Brittany starts. "Honestly I started Pierce Codes by accident. I was just messing around when I cracked the code to an app and changed things. After that I decided to sell my services to companies and created Pierce Codes. I brought my friend Quinn in to take care of the business side of things while I develop the products." she explains.
"That's really cool that you've been so successful." Santana says.
"Well I think you're successful in having a child already." Brittany says parking.
Brittany drove them to Subway which makes Santana smile.
"I figured you'd prefer this over some fancy restaurant." Brittany says holding the door open for her.
"Thanks," Santana says smiling shyly at her.
They continue to talk about their lives Brittany tells Santana all about how her company grew and how she's only close to her dad now. Her mom had left when she was thirteen. She answers all the questions Santana has about the company. Santana tells Brittany about her daughter and how she's just trying to find a good paying job. She avoids talking about her parents and where she lives. And Brittany doesn't push figuring that it would just make the other woman uncomfortable.
"Thanks for lunch." Santana says when they arrive back.
"No problem, it's nice to have company." Brittany says.
The rest of the day Santana works hard, smiling at the fact that she's made a friend with her boss.
"Santana! Can you come in!" Brittany shouts.
Santana takes a deep breath praying she doesn't get fired. She thought she'd been doing a good job, but you never know.
"Yes Brittany." Santana says walking in.
Brittany bites her lip as she tries to not stare at the very beautiful woman standing in front of her. She thinks Quinn might be right in thinking she has a small crush on her. Shaking her head, she puts all those possible feelings in the back of her mind. It's the last thing she needs right now.
"Well I've been very impressed with your work and work ethic today that I was hoping you'd be willing to be my assistant." Brittany says. "I need someone I trust and get along with."
"You want me?" Santana asks staring at her.
"Yes, you're very good." Brittany says hoping she'll say yes.
She's really clicked with Santana despite only knowing her for a day and prays she says yes.
"Yes," Santana says biting her lip to stop herself from freaking out.
"Good," Brittany sighs falling back in her chair. "I'll have Kurt set you up with office keys, a passcode for my private elevator and a good parking spot."
"Thank you so much Brittany." Santana says leaning over and hugging her.
"I'll see you tomorrow at eight." Brittany says.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I'm home!" Santana shouts still smiling.
"Mommy," Lily says running into her legs and hugging them.
"Hey sweetie," Santana says picking her up.
"How'd it go?" Aidan asks walking into the living room.
"Really well," Santana says putting Lily down who runs off. "I ended up temping for the CEO Brittany Pierce and she liked me so much she offered me a full time job as her assistant." she happily says.
"That's so great sis, I knew you'd get a job offer." Aidan says engulfing her in a hug. "Don't worry about anything I'll take Lily to daycare and pick her up if you need to be there early and stay late. I want you to success there."
"Thanks A, but I told you about Lily so I think for the most part I'll be able to do that." Santana says so glad her brother is willing to help.
"Well just know I'm here if you need."
